TAMPA - It might be acceptable for adults at the gym, in road races and in triathlons. But high school girls in sports bras and boys with bare chests violate thedress code of Hillsborough County's public schools and officials are once again attempting to enforce the rule - no matter how hot it is.
County athletic director Lanness Robinson said the issue re-emerged at last week's Hillsborough County Cross Country Championships, where he said he heard complaints from parents and school officials about girls wearing sports bras and boys running shirtless before and after the race.
